For allegedly operating an illegal drug factory and manufacturing fake drugs, the police on Tuesday arraigned four men before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court.

The suspects, Emeka Madu, 47; Eze Young, 26; Chijoke Umunna, 19; and Kingsley Obilor, 22, were arrested by the police Intelligence Response Team on November 23, 2018.

According to the force spokesman, Jimoh Moshood, operatives received credible intelligence and acted on it to uncover the fake factory, where substantial production, packaging and distribution of suspected fake drugs to different parts of the country were being carried out.

The police said they recovered cartons of different fake drugs; large quantities of unprocessed chemical substances used for manufacturing drugs; machines for processing, manufacturing and packaging of these drugs; as well as forged pharmaceutical papers.

The suspects were arraigned on three counts of conspiracy, unlawful manufacturing of drugs and operation of an illegal drug factory.

The police prosecutor, Peter Nwangwu, told the court that the accused persons committed the offences on November 13, 2018, around 9am at No. 2 Okunneye Street, in the Ikotun-Egbe area of Lagos.
